NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2003
(Unaudited)
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited, consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to
Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all
of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion
of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Operating
results for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003, are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31,
2003. For further information, refer to the Financial Statements and footnotes
thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2002.
Clean Diesel Technologies, Inc. (the "Company" or "CDT") was incorporated
in the State of Delaware on January 19, 1994, as a wholly owned subsidiary of
Fuel-Tech N.V. ("Fuel Tech"). Effective December 12, 1995, Fuel Tech completed
a Rights Offering of the Company's Common Stock that reduced its ownership in
the Company to 27.6%. Fuel Tech currently holds a 12.7% interest in the Company
as of September 30, 2003.
The Company is a specialty chemical and energy technology company supplying
fuel additives and proprietary systems that reduce harmful emissions from
internal combustion engines while improving fuel economy. During December 1999,
the Company received its EPA registration for its platinum - cerium product and
recorded its first commercial sales. The success of the Company's technologies
will depend upon the market acceptance of the technologies and governmental
regulations including corresponding foreign and state agencies.
As a result of the Company's recurring operating losses ($24,183,000 since
inception excluding non-cash preferred stock dividends), the Company has been
unable to generate positive cash flow. In management's opinion, the Company's
cash balance at September 30, 2003 will be sufficient to fund the Company's
operations through at least 2004. The Company may require additional capital to
fund its future operations and working capital needs. Although the Company
believes that it would be successful in raising additional capital, there is no
guarantee that it will be able to raise such funds on terms that will be
satisfactory to the Company. The Company will develop contingency plans in the
event future financing efforts are not successful. Such plans may include
reducing expenses and selling or licensing some of the Company's technologies,
which could have a material adverse effect on the business, operating results,
financial condition and long-term prospects.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market and consist of
finished product. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO)
method.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company recognizes revenue from sales of Platinum Plus fuel borne
catalyst and ARIS systems upon shipment.
In December 2002, Clean Diesel Technologies completed an additional
exclusive license agreement with Mitsui for the mobile ARIS technology for
Japan. Under terms of the agreement Mitsui agreed to pay CDT a $250,000 license
fee and Mitsui committed to spend an additional $200,000 in developing, testing
and demonstrating ARIS mobile prototypes. CDT recognized the $250,000 license
revenue in the fourth quarter of 2002, as there are no significant ongoing
services required to be performed by CDT. The Company will also receive ongoing
royalty payments on a per unit basis.
-6-
In April 2003, Clean Diesel Technologies completed a non-exclusive license
agreement with Combustion Component Associates Inc. (CCA) of Monroe,
Connecticut, for the mobile ARIS technology in the US. Under terms of the
agreement CCA agreed to pay CDT a $150,000 license fee and committed to spend an
additional $100,000 in developing, testing and demonstrating ARIS mobile
prototypes. CDT will also receive ongoing royalty payments on a per unit basis.
CDT recognized the $150,000 license revenue in the second quarter of 2003, as
there are no significant ongoing services required to be performed by CDT.
Royalty fees are recognized by the Company when earned.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS
Costs relating to the research, development and testing of products
including testing to support verification programs with the California Air
Resources Board (CARB) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are charged
to operations as they are incurred. These costs include test programs, salary
and benefits, consultancy fees, materials and certain testing equipment.
PATENT EXPENSE
Patent costs are capitalized and amortized over the remaining life of each
patent.
NOTES PAYABLE
In November 2000, the Company arranged a $1,000,000 term loan with three
private lenders. The term loan had a 10% interest rate and was payable in full
on May 14, 2002. The Company drew down $500,000 in November 2000 and the
remaining $500,000 in March of 2001. As part of the private placement stock
transaction in December 2001, $750,000 of the outstanding term loan plus accrued
interest was converted to common stock. The remaining $250,000 portion of the
term loan plus accrued interest was paid in cash on January 18, 2002.
STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
In September 2003, Clean Diesel Technologies received $3.865 million (net
of $39,000 in expenses) through a private placement of 2,395,597 shares of its
Common Stock on the AIM (Alternative Investment Market) of the London Stock
Exchange under the ticker symbol CDT. The new shares were issued in reliance on
Regulation S under the US Securities Act and because they are subject to
transfer restrictions for a period of time, they may not be resold to persons in
the US or US persons but may otherwise be traded in the UK without other
restrictions. In conjunction with the private placement, 230,240 ten year
warrants with an exercise price of $1.63 per share were issued.
In October 2002, Clean Diesel Technologies received $1.356 million (net of
$69,000 in expenses) through a private placement of 704,349 shares of its Common
Stock.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Clean Diesel Technologies accounts for stock option grants in accordance
with Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees. Under CDT's current plan, options may be granted at not
less than the fair market value on the date of grant and therefore no
compensation expense is recognized for the stock options granted to employees.
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation-Transition and Disclosure." SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to provide alternative methods of
transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting
for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, the Statement amends the
disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both
annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for
stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported
results. The Company has adopted the disclosure requirements of this Statement
as of December 31, 2002.
-7-
If compensation expense for CDT's plan had been determined based on the
fair value at the grant dates for awards under its plan, consistent with the
method described in SFAS No. 123, CDT's net loss and basic and diluted loss per
common share would have been increased to the pro forma amounts indicated below
for the nine months ended September 30:
2003 2002
-------- --------
Net loss as reported $(2,156) $(2,240)
Deduct: Total stock-based employee compensation expense
determined under fair value based method for all awards,
net of related tax effects (406) (451)
-------- --------
Pro forma net loss $(2,562) $(2,691)
Net loss per share:
Basic and diluted loss per common share-as reported $ (0.18) $ (0.20)
Basic and diluted per common share-pro forma $ (0.21) $ (0.24)
In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, for purposes of the pro
forma disclosures the estimated fair value of the options is amortized over the
option vesting period. The application of the pro forma disclosures presented
above are not representative of the effects SFAS No. 123 may have on operating
results and loss per share in future years due to the timing of stock option
grants and considering that options vest over a period of three years.
The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was developed for use in estimating
the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully
transferable. In addition, option-pricing models require the input of highly
subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because
CDT's employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from
those of traded options and because changes in the subjective input assumptions
can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the
existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair
value of its stock options.
The fair value of each option grant, for pro forma disclosure purposes, was
estimated on the date of grant using the modified Black-Scholes option-pricing
model with the following weighted-average assumptions for the second quarter
2003 grants, expected dividend yield 0%, risk free interest rate 1.23%, expected
volatility 95.7% and expected life of the option 4 years. The weighted-average
assumptions for the third quarter 2003 grants were: expected dividend yield 0%,
risk free interest rate 2.48%, expected volatility 99.41% and expected life of
the option 4 years.
LOSS PER SHARE
Employee stock options and stock purchase warrants were not included in the
computation of diluted earnings per share for 2003, because either the Company
reported a loss for the period or their exercise prices were greater than the
average market price of the common stock and therefore would be antidilutive.
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In November 2000, the Company secured a $1,000,000 term loan facility at a
10% interest rate from several preferred shareholders, including Fuel Tech Inc.
which pledged $250,000. In 2000 and 2001 the Company drew down the entire
$1,000,000 term loan. In December 2001, $750,000 of term loan and accrued
interest was repaid as part of the December 2001 private placement of common
stock discussed in the stock holders equity note. In January 2002, the Company
repaid the remaining $250,000 term loan payable to Fuel Tech plus accrued
interest.
The Company has a Management and Services Agreement with Fuel Tech. Under
the agreement, the Company pays Fuel Tech a fee equal to an additional 3 - 10%
of the costs paid on the Company's behalf, dependent upon the nature of the
costs incurred. Currently, a fee of 3% is assessed on all costs billed to the
Company from Fuel Tech. Charges to the Company, inclusive of the administrative
fee, were approximately $17,300 in both the third quarter of 2003 and 2002,
respectively.
-8-
The Company had a deferred salary plan with its Chief Executive Officer in
which he deferred $62,500 of his annual salary until the Company reaches $5
million in revenue. This agreement was terminated in March 2001 and the
executive's salary was returned to full pay. At September 30, 2003 total
obligations were $135,400 pertaining to this plan.
The Company makes annual pension payments or accruals pursuant to a
deferred compensation plan on behalf of its Chief Executive Officer. This
agreement was suspended as of June 15, 2003 and the company does not plan to
make any additional accruals in the future. At September 30, 2003 total
obligations were $305,616 pertaining to this plan.
COMMITMENTS
The Company is obligated under a sublease agreement for its principal
office. The Company has agreed to a 12 month extension with a three month
notice for termination of the lease through December 2003, at an annual rate of
$116,000. For the quarters ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, rental expense
approximated $27,625 for each quarter.
Effective October 28, 1994, Fuel Tech granted two licenses to the Company
for all patents and rights associated with its platinum fuel catalyst
technology. Effective November 24, 1997, the licenses were canceled and Fuel
Tech assigned to the Company all such patents and rights on terms substantially
similar to the licenses. In exchange for the assignment, the Company will pay
Fuel Tech a royalty of 2.5% of its annual gross revenue from sales of the
platinum fuel catalysts commencing in 1998. The royalty obligation expires in
2008. The Company may terminate the royalty obligation to Fuel Tech by payment
of $6,545,455 in 2003 and declining annually to $1,090,910 in 2008. The Company
as assignee and owner will maintain the technology at its own expense. Minimum
royalties were paid to Fuel Tech in 2002 and royalties payable to Fuel Tech at
September 30, 2003 are $3,600.
MARKETING AND LICENSE AGREEMENTS
In December 2002, Clean Diesel Technologies completed an additional
exclusive license agreement with Mitsui for the mobile ARIS technology for
Japan. Under terms of the agreement Mitsui agreed to pay CDT a $250,000 license
fee and Mitsui committed to spend an additional $200,000 in developing, testing
and demonstrating ARIS mobile prototypes. CDT recognized the $250,000 license
revenue in the fourth quarter of 2002. Clean Diesel has previously completed an
exclusive ARIS license for the ARIS NOx reduction technology for stationary
applications in Japan. CDT receives royalties on each system sold by Mitsui.
In April 2003, Clean Diesel Technologies completed a non-exclusive license
agreement with Combustion Component Associates Inc. (CCA) of Monroe,
Connecticut, for the mobile ARIS technology in the US. Under terms of the
agreement CCA agreed to pay CDT a $150,000 license fee and committed to spend an
additional $100,000 in developing, testing and demonstrating ARIS mobile
prototypes. CDT will also receive ongoing royalty payments on a per unit basis.
CDT recognized the $150,000 license revenue in the second quarter of 2003, as
there are no significant ongoing services required to be performed by CDT.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On October 13, 2003, the Company announced that it had received
notification from the US Environmental Protection Agency of verification of
emissions reduction performance of its Platinum Plus(R) Purifier system to
retrofit to 1988-1993 diesel engines. The EPA verification will allow end-users
to receive emission reduction credit, as well as access to federal, state and
local funds to pay for the verified system. The Company intends to supply the
verified systems directly to end-users and through a planned network of licensed
distributors.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Statements in this Form 10-Q that are not historical facts, so-called
"forward-looking statements," are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Investors are cautioned
that all forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including
those detailed in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. See "Risk Factors of the Business" in Item 1, "Business," and also
Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations" in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Prior to 2000, the Company was a development stage enterprise and its
efforts were devoted to the research, development and commercialization of
platinum fuel catalysts and nitrogen oxide reduction technologies to reduce
emissions from diesel engines. During December 1999, the Company received its
US EPA registration for its platinum-cerium fuel catalyst product and completed
its first commercial sales.
Product sales and cost of sales were $81,000 and $47,000 respectively for
the third quarter of 2003 versus $39,000 and $17,000 for 2002. Platinum Plus
fuel catalyst sales of $58,000 and $11,000 were recorded in the third quarter of
2003 and 2002, respectively. ARIS product sales of $12,000, primarily to Mitsui
& Co., Ltd., were recorded in the third quarter of 2003. The remainder of
product revenue in 2003 consists of additive dispensing equipment.
Included in the 2003 and 2002 third quarter revenue is $18,000 and $12,000,
respectively, of license and royalty income. The 2003 license and royalty
income is from continuing ARIS system royalties from Mitsui & Co., Ltd.
Year-to-date sales and cost of sales were $478,000 and $167,000 in 2003
versus $141,000 and $72,000 in 2002. Included in the total year revenue is
$187,000 and $26,000 of ARIS license and royalty revenue for 2003 and 2002
respectively. Year-to-date ARIS 2000 system sales for 2003 were $87,000 versus
$87,000 in 2002. Year-to-date Platinum Plus FBC sales for 2003 were $138,000
versus $28,000 in 2002.
General and administrative expenses decreased $52,000 to $517,000 in the
third quarter 2003 versus $569,000 in the same period of 2002. For the first
nine months of 2003 general and administrative expenses increased $151,000 to
$1,855,000 versus $1,704,000 in 2002. The year-to-date 2003 increase in general
and administrative expenses is related to increases in marketing and sales
activities and higher professional fees including insurance and advisory
services.
Research and development expenses decreased $14,000 to $171,000 in the
third quarter 2003 versus $185,000 in the comparable period in 2002. For the
year research and development costs are down $7,000 to $590,000 versus $597,000
in the same period in 2002. The decrease is attributable to the timing of
expenses related to several verification and certification programs for the
Platinum Plus FBC.
Patent filing costs increased $25,000 to $29,000 in the third quarter of
2003 versus $4,000 in the comparable 2002 period. The increase is related to
increased amortization of patent expenses as the patents near retirement and the
addition of new patents. For the year, patent cost has decreased $2,000 to
$29,000 versus a $31,000 in the same nine month period in 2002.
Third quarter interest income decreased $6,000 in 2003 to $1,000 versus
$7,000 in the comparable period in 2002. For the year interest income decreased
$25,000 to $7,000 versus $32,000 in the same
-10-
period in 2002. This was a result of a decrease in the amount of cash and cash
equivalents on hand in 2003.
LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL
Prior to 2000, the Company was primarily engaged in research and
development and has incurred losses since inception aggregating $ 24,183,000
(excluding the effect of the non-cash preferred stock dividends). The Company
expects to incur losses through the foreseeable future as it further pursues its
commercialization efforts. Although the Company started selling limited
quantities of product in 1999 and licensing revenue in 2000 and 2001, sales and
revenue to date have been insufficient to cover operating expenses, and the
Company continues to be dependent upon sources other than operations to finance
its working capital requirements.
For the six months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, the Company used cash
of $1,773,000 and $2,176,000 respectively, in operating activities.
At September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the Company had cash and cash
equivalents of $3,994,000 and $2,083,000, respectively. The increase in cash
and cash equivalents in 2003 was the result of the issue of Common Stock as
discussed in the next paragraph. Offsetting some of this increase are expenses
relating the verification programs with EPA and CARB and the on-going marketing
and operation costs. The Company anticipates incurring additional losses through
at least the next 12 months as it further pursues its commercialization efforts.
In September 2003, Clean Diesel Technologies received $3.865 million (net
of $39,000 in expenses) through a private placement of 2,395,597 shares of its
Common Stock. In conjunction with the private placement, 230,240 ten year
warrants with an exercise price of $1.63 per share were issued.
In October 2002, Clean Diesel Technologies received $1.356 million (net
of $69,000 in expenses) through a private placement of 704,349 shares of its
Common Stock on the AIM (Alternative Investment Market) London Stock Exchange.
In November 2000, the Company secured a $1,000,000 privately financed term
loan facility. In December 2000, the Company drew down $500,000 of the term
loan facility and in March 2001 the remaining $500,000 of the term loan was
drawn down. As part of the private placement stock transaction in December
2001, $750,000 of the outstanding term loan plus accrued interest was converted
to common stock. The remaining $250,000 plus accrued interest was paid in cash
in January 2002.
As a result of the Company's recurring operating losses, the Company has
been unable to generate positive cash flow. In management's opinion, the
Company's cash balance at September 30, 2003 will be sufficient to fund the
Company's operations through at least 2004. The Company may require additional
capital to fund its future operations. Although the Company believes that it
will be successful in its capital-raising efforts, there is no guarantee that it

financing efforts are not successful. Such plans may include reducing expenses
and selling or licensing some of the Company's technologies.
